What's New in ScrollTax

October 29, 2026

ScrollTax 2.0.2 + Happy Halloween! Zunō dons a witch hat for the season. Prefer the classic icon? It's in Settings > Appearance > App icon. + Reading, Focus and Chores sessions now end on their own at midnight or after 4 hours, so a forgotten timer no longer keeps your apps blocked. Minutes count toward the day you started. + Fixed a rare crash. + Fixes and polish throughout.

So far good! And free!

I like it so far! Only thing is, I don’t use Apple Watch and I want to track my workout time, Sun, and meditation but I can’t without a watch? I just want to add the time or have a counter like the chore tracker.
But mostly this is one of the only free app blockers! So thank you!

Response from developer

Hi Brooke, an Apple Watch isn’t required to do that! You should be able to do it manually via the Health app. And for workouts, you should be able to use the Fitness app as a tracker. E.g. For Sunlight, go to Health App search for Time In Daylight press +

FAQ

How does ScrollTax work to lock apps?

ScrollTax utilizes Apple's native Screen Time API to enforce app locks. Once apps are selected and a budget is set, they become inaccessible until screen time is earned back through designated activities.

What activities can I do to earn screen time in ScrollTax?

You can earn screen time by reading, focusing, doing chores, working, walking, working out, mindfulness, standing, getting sunlight, and sleeping. Each activity has a specific earning rate and a daily cap.

What happens if I go over my screen time budget in ScrollTax?

If you exceed your screen time budget, the overage is converted into debt that carries over to the next day. This means you'll start the next day with a deficit that needs to be worked off before you can access your locked apps.

Does ScrollTax have ads?

No, ScrollTax is ad-free. The developer explicitly states that your data stays yours and there are no advertisements within the application.

What are the differences between the free and Pro versions of ScrollTax?

The free version includes all ten earn sources, work/sleep modes, 30 grace minutes, one emergency unlock, debt carryover, live activity, widgets, and hard mode. ScrollTax Pro offers custom earn rates, debt controls, trends, patterns, and your full history.

Is ScrollTax available on Android devices?

Based on the provided data, ScrollTax is currently only supported on iPhones. It leverages iOS-specific features like Screen Time and Focus modes.
